Main-Hand's becoming One-Handed opening more than just transmogs?

Correct me if I've misread wrong on the transmog changes, but if all 1h weapons from now on (<---this is what I mean by if I've misread), including the caster weapons, are going to be one-handed, then that COULD provide openings in areas other than just transmogging.

What I mean is, if they ever plan on giving maybe Death Knight's a fourth spec as a caster Necromancer that uses int plate, and can DW caster weapons; or maybe fourth spec for Mages, that is a Battle-Mage, also DWing 1h weapons or a 2h staff.

I'm sure there are plenty of other possibilities that could follow the weapon changes, but my question is to you:

Do you think that the weapon changes of all MH's (again, correct me please) becoming One-handers, bar legendaries and some specifics, could open up future class changes amongst other possbilities; or do you think it'll just be for Transmog?

By Blizzard Entertainment:
Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.

Just for transmog, shamans were using two spell power one hand weapons as resto, so thats why they decided to make them main hand mostly, so they dont like that kind of idea so my bet is just for transmog.

I wouldn't say zero chance. But i think it's rather unlikely we're going to see a caster spec with dual wield.

Which is why they could only remove the restriction now that they can decide on a per-spec base if you even have DW.

It affects Transmog only. They will not allow casters to duel wield spellpower weapons as they would clearly have a huge advantage over other casters that cannot. I believe you misread.

The issue was that people wanted to be able to transmog their awesome looking MH to both MH and OH and with the current rules on TMOG they couldn't do that. I see WHY it was set up that way, but in the end, it was merely a way for Blizzard to take a small step and avoid a potentially disastrous outcome. Not to mention this was only something that would even be a problem for pvp and have no issues in pve.

This could mean the end to DW Blood DKs, then (as it's still possible).

Is there even a point for Blood DK's to DW nowadays?

They can make DW spec specific, like what happened with Shamans. Dual Wielding is spec specific to an Enh shaman, whilst it is unavailable to the other 2 specs. Who's to say they can't apply that to other classes.
